Forest fires: Our generation must put an end to climate change.

Joe Wheeler was 17 when he saw his first wildfire, a record involving the Saddleworth Moor in Greater Manchester.

Today, a year later, Joe is committed to protecting the environment, starting with the wastelands of his hometown.

In the UK, there were more forest fires in mid-2019 than in any other reporting year, and with rising temperatures forest fires are likely to be more frequent, larger and more difficult to combat.

Joe wants to know why these fires are so serious and what he can do to protect that iconic landscape.
